I recently became
interested
in my family history when I was contacted by a distant relative.
His great-great-great grandfather was the same as mine, which makes him
about as distant as you can probably get. I am only just starting
to compile geneology information, so that will get posted later.
I will also post photo's of family heirlooms. We are in posession
of a replica of a medal that was awarded a distant relative in a war in
the late 1600's, the musket that my great-great grandfather carried in
the Cival War (1816 musket with conversion), his discharge document,
various
photos, and other stuff.
